Report on Nigerian
Trip by Paul A. Johnston
My mother, Mrs Lorna Johnston and I left on the 15th
October for a three week trip to Nigeria. For mum, this was her first
visit back to Nigeria since she and Dad left in 1970. This memorable
trip was of huge significance to her, and a great encouragement to the
many Bassa people who still fondly call her “our mama”. Though the
weather was unusually hot (44ºC or 114ºF), both Mum and I enjoyed
excellent health and protection while travelling. We went to Nigeria
with many objectives in mind, these we saw fulfilled. Click the
